Thrawn event is a colossal waste of time

Correction it was +10 not 12. However I've only upgraded to lvl 12.

It was a health data bus (circle) and most definitely a secondary. Can't remember what the initial speed was when I upgraded to level 3 (when 1 secondary appears). Think it might have been six to start with. However after upgrading to lvl12 it jumped to +10. Definitely more than 6.

You are missing my point. If it was 6 to start with then the mod wasn't gray. I never said you can't get more than 6 speed on a secondary. Of course you can. I said you can't get more than 6 speed on a secondary when the mod starts out gray. Because the post I was responding to suggested that people upgrade random gray mods to see if they get speed secondaries.

Upgrading mods that already have speed on them at level 1 is the right way to go. Upgrading gray mods (which, by definition, start with no secondaries) is not.

I'm not missing your point! I just upgraded several gray mods (including the one in question). I upgraded all gray mods to level 3 (which is now green). Once I got a speed secondary, I upgraded again.

I can't recall what the initial speed secondary stat on the mod in question was. But once I got a speed secondary I then upgraded to level 12 which bumped the speed secondary to +10.

It expensive as it costs about $14.75k credits to upgrade from 1-3. However if you're desperate for speed secondary mods, it worked for me as I was able to get a couple this way.

The event is hard because people refuse to do it with anything but the least amount of effort possible because they only ever listen to the forum circlejerk about how phoenix is mudkips trash tier and not worth investing in at all.

To hell with that. Phoenix squad is fine. You won't finish in the top 10 with them, but they're a perfectly serviceable team that will do the job in any situation. If you've already got a solo team for each phase of HAAT, then sure, they're not needed for that--but whenever new content is announced you can guarantee that you're going to do alright if you use Phoenix.

They are also useful in TB

No. You didn't. Gray mods *don't have secondaries on them.* Please show me a single picture of a gray mod with a secondary on it. You can't. Because they don't exist.

You are just mistaken. If the mod had speed on it and the speed went up, it wasn't gray to start with. Maybe you mixed it up with another one that was already green. But what you are describing is not how mods work. IT CANNOT HAPPEN.

You are obviously struggling with this concept.

1.) Take a gray mod with no secondary stat.
2.) Upgrade said mod to lvl 3. It will turn green a secondary stat will appear . Cost is $14,750 credits.
3.) If that secondary stat that has now appeared is speed, upgrade again.


On another note, FYI if you upgrade a gray mod all the way to level 15, a whole compliment random secondary stats appears.

If you do that. The speed that appears at level 3 CANNOT UPGRADE AGAIN. That's how mod works. You get a secondary at levels 3, 6, 9, and 12. Every mod must have 4 secondaries at level 12. That means that if you don't start out with any secondaries at level 1, no secondary can hit more than once. You cannot get speed for the first time at level 3 and then have it go up again.

You are the one struggling with the concept, not me.

Umm... No.

At levels 3, 6, 9, and 12, one of two things happens: a secondary stat appears, or a secondary stat upgrades. Every mod has to end up with 4 secondary stats. So if it starts with none, then at each of those levels, one appears.

No point arguing with you all on this. I've been doing it since this event launched and ended up with several mods.
